CINC Essentials
The perfect base to learn how to use configuration management for your services.
What you will learn in this course
WHY THIS COURSE IS A GAMECHANGER: Without infrastructure as code, systems remain difficult to scale and prone to errors. This training shows you how to use Cinc (Chef) to run your infrastructure reliably, automated, and efficiently.
ABOUT THIS COURSE: Our CINC Essentials training is the perfect starting point to get in contact with CINC because you do not need any former knowledge on the topic.
Using the open source alternative to Chef Infra – CINC, you will learn how to automate the configuration, deployment, and management of your server infrastructure. In addition to that, we will teach you how to test your configurations so that you are able to automate your whole infrastructure.
What’s with the name CINC? Cinc is a recursive acronym for "CINC Is Not Chef".
